Texas Giant opening date confirmed

[Hyde]

Woo!... meh, logo works.

Back to the airtime hill, its looking to provide massive forces after that drop. Let's hope it isn't painful.

 

[Xpress]

It seems like it's taking them forever to put this thing back up. Does anyone else feel the same?

 

[RCF]

Well, they've still got a good 8 months before Opening Day, and if they're already almost halfway done with track, I don't think it's going up slow. I see what you mean though, but right now seems to be a kind of peak in popularity what with a lot of pictures, new part of websites etc. etc.

Small photo update

Here's a good shot of the catwalks on the lift giving it a sense of completedness

I think they're screwing with some people with their marketing, as on this poster the word "wooden" is no longer struck out

Here you can see the ledgers for a delicious 95* overbank

And here's the main course. Possibly the 112/114* bank? What's good is that we pretty much have the first part of the ride revealed, and I can't wait to start seeing what the second part looks like, especially the old MCBR.

It's like there's always some new crazy thing happening every week! I love it

 

[Snoo]

I'm loving it too.. although the wooden thing needs to go.. :lol:

 

[Antinos]

Well that last picture shows where the 112* overbank will be.

 

[RCF]

I seem to be repeating myself but here's some pictures from SFOT's Facebook:


Station track

What could this be?

I'm seeing double

Yum

I believe this is where the 95 degree bank will be. Either that or it's where the MCBR used to be

Delicious

And you know what this is, but it looks nice anyway

 

[Snoo]

Oooo.. I wanna see the trainsss!!

 

[Jer]

So is it a woodie or a steel coaster? Calling it a hybrid isn't good enough.


and that drop, holy ****! :shock:

 

[RCF]

^It's a "super hybrid of its own category". :wink:

 

[tomahawk]

I just came. That thing looks amazing! Please don't let me down!

 

[RCF]

More pictures from today!

This is where the MCBR was (and apparently will be)

Ledgers for 95*+ bank after the first drop

Looks like another steep bank after the third drop

A close up of the ledgers of the bank after the third drop

 

[tomahawk]

Is it Spring yet?

 

[Snoo]

I just wanna see this thing, with the trains, running.. it will definitely be a sight.

 

[Antinos]

Wow. That looks very strange being built on a wooden coaster. Maybe it'll look nicer when it's completed?

 

[jjjjustin]

I don't like the red track

 

[RCF]

It's actually grown on me

 

[Jer]

I also like the red track, it looks really good, flows well.

 

[RCF]

Like first I was like, "ewwwww" but now I really like it. It's just so skeletal at the moment. When the catwalks are finished, it'll look somewhat normal

 

[Snoo]

I'm gonna wait until I see the puppy in action until I pass final judgement on how it looks. Right now? Not bad.
